US radio stations have been ignoring calls for a boycott of Britney Spears's new single 'If U Seek Amy'.

The song has been met with widespread criticism because its chorus sounds like Spears is singing "all of the boys and all of the girls are begging to F.*.*.K me" The US Parents Television Council has said that it violates the broadcast indecency law if aired between 6 am and 10 pm.

The single has entered the Billboard Pop 100 chart after six radio stations playlisted the track and has already recorded digital sales of 107,000. "We're confident the version of the song we air is not crossing any lines," WFLX's Tommy Chuck told Billboard.com.

The DJ added that record label Jive has provided them with an edited version that changes "seek" to "see". A joke version has also been produced that sees the jockey shout his name over the offending parts.
